Art Gourds - Pat Davis Learn how to create geometric patterns that fit on 3 dimensional objects, gourds. Develop pyrography (wood-burning) skills by burning your design on a gourd. Then add a flex shaft tool to your repertoire to explore texturing, inlay, and filigree techniques. Embellish it all with paints, dyes, gold leaf, or whatever else falls out of the toolbox. Finish and protect your projects with waxes or sealers. Class fee includes gourds and materials needed to complete class projects.
